The following instructions are to be used when
making Bread or Dough recipes from the
recipe section of this book.
All recipes use local ingredients and Australian
Standard Metric Measuring tools (cup, spoons
and weighing scales) for accuracy in producing
a 750g or 1kg loaf of bread. The actual weight
of the baked loaf will vary depending on the
weight of raw ingredients used. Before making
your first loaf, remove any promotional stickers
from the Baker’s Oven. Do not remove the
Baker’s Oven logo located on the front panel of
the bread machine.
STEP 1. OPEN THE LID AND
REMOVE THE BREAD PAN
Open the lid and remove the bread pan from
the machine by holding the handle and
lifting straight up.
Always remove the bread pan from the
Baker’s Oven before adding ingredients to
ensure ingredients are not spilt into the
baking chamber and onto the element.
Before using for the first time, we recommend
that the inside of the bread pan and the
kneading blade be washed with warm soapy
water, rinsed and dried thoroughly. Do not
immerse the bread pan in water.
STEP 2. INSERT THE KNEADING
BLADE
It is important that the kneading blade is
properly inserted on the shaft in the base of
the bread pan by aligning the flat edge on
the inside of the kneading blade with the flat
side of the shaft. If the blade is not inserted
correctly the ingredients may not be mixed
and kneaded properly.
STEP 3. ADD INGREDIENTS
INTO THE BREAD PAN
It is IMPORTANT that the ingredients are
added in the correct order listed in the recipe
and that the ingredients are measured and
weighed accurately or the dough may not
mix correctly or rise sufficiently.
All ingredients should be at room
temperature 20 – 25°C. Ingredients should
be added in the following order:
1. Liquid ingredients
2. Fat/Oil
3. Dry ingredients: salt, sugar, flour
4. Dry yeast
BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BAKING YOUR FIRST LOAF
11
The Bake Only setting of the Baker’s Oven
gives more versatility to your bread making.
The Bake Only setting is useful when
wishing to:
•
Extend the baking time if a darker or
crisper loaf crust is required.
•
Crispen loaves already baked and cooled
•
Rewarm loaves already baked and cooled.
•
Delay bake a finished dough.
•
Melt or crispen toppings
TO USE THE BAKE ONLY
SETTING
1. Place the dough or bread into the bread
pan and insert into bread machine.
2. Press the
Menu
button seven times and
the Display Window will show
8
and then
change automatically to
1:00
.
3. Press the
Start
button. The Bake Only
setting will bake for 1 hour. This time
cannot be altered. If the total hour is not
required remove the bread after the
sufficient time had elapsed and press the
Stop
button.
